And the celebration, as promised by Cunard, will be huge! Whichever cruise you choose for yourself in the current 2018, pleasant surprises and vivid impressions will certainly await you that will stay with you for life.
Become part of a new story with Cunard. 2018 promises to be spectacular!
Three Queens, one amazing city
“I want a simple, easy-to-handle ship,” was the task that Samuel Cunard gave to the designers of the very first ship of the future Cunard fleet. Could the founder of the company have suspected that mail steamers would eventually evolve into comfortable liners, floating palaces, luxury hotels and fashionable resorts in the middle of the ocean.
On May 24-26, all three Cunard ships will enter the port of Liverpool to greet the city that started it all. For the first time in history, the three Queens will meet on the River Mersey on May 25. You will have as many as three options for how to be at the forefront of events in a unique meeting of three impressive ships. The spectacle will be unforgettable!
Flagship Cunard Queen Mary 2
Interesting Facts:
- from 1840 to 1967 in Liverpool was the headquarters of the Cunard company. The Cunard Building (1917) is part of the famous Three Graces, at Pier Head in downtown Liverpool;
- the new mail service proved so popular that by 1847 the Admiralty had negotiated with Samuel to double the number of flights that would depart every Saturday from Liverpool towards Halifax or Boston;
- about 11 million emigrants crossed the Atlantic in 1840-1900. Nearly a third of them went from Liverpool.
A complete set of impressions will be enjoyed by guests of the Queen Elizabeth liner, which will arrive in Liverpool at the very end of its 16-day Baltic trip. The route of the liners Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria is laid closer to home - along the coast of Scotland, Ireland or Guernsey.
Lusitania NOT Forgotten
Liner Lusitania 1907, also known as "Lucy", was the real "Monarch of the seas", leave far behind your German supergirls - liner Kaisee Wilhelm der Gross and Deutschland. The space and goodness of the furnished cabins of the Lusitania resembled rooms in one of the luxurious hotels in the world rather than living quarters on ships.
Interesting Facts:
- Lusitania was conceived as the fastest ship in the Atlantic. Subsequently, she was awarded the Blue Ribbon for crossing the Atlantic Ocean (final destination - New York) in 4 days 19 hours 52 minutes;
- The design of the ship made it possible to use the Lusitania for both peaceful and military purposes. The ship could be equipped with full armament, and the speed of 25 knots made it possible to outrun the submarines.
On May 1st, 1915, Lusitania left New York for Liverpool. She had 1,959 civilian passengers and crew on board. On May 7, a torpedo fired from a German submarine crashed into the starboard side of the ship off the southern coast of Ireland. The liner bent down and sank in just 18 minutes. 761 people were saved, others were less fortunate.
Liner Queen Victoria is about to pay tribute to this "floating palace" 100 years after the tragic events of the First World War. Queen Victoria will visit the Cove, near which the sunken giant lies.
